$5 Friday!

We know it’s been a week of big asks, but it’s been a week of big bills for us.

Yesterday our sweet girl Opal got spayed. What was supposed to be a routine day was not. She had the early stages of pyometra. If you aren’t familiar with that, it is a uterine infection that can be fatal if not caught. Thankfully it WAS. Let this be another reminder as to why spaying is so important for female dogs!

On top of that unexpected expense, we had other unexpected expenses, too: a sick puppy who required supportive care, and our two new street dogs who both had medical complications. This is on top of routine medical care.

The total for our medical expenses this week was $2,938 - the highest it’s been in a long time! But with that means we are doing great things, and I am grateful we can.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us. This week has been impactful and we appreciate your generosity, donations, and advocacy.

Part two of Lox and Bagel’s story:

First and foremost, as we were loading up the dogs into the car, a woman pulled up. She told us she had been feeding them for a long time and was trying to get them caught. She couldn’t believe we got them and was so happy for them. She confirmed they had lived on the street for a long time. This woman was the reason these dogs had enough trust in people for us to get close and we are so thankful for her!

Once we got the pups back to Charleston, we were able to get them straight into the vet. Lox was covered in wounds, and Bagel was struggling to walk.

We found out Lox was heartworm and Lyme positive - clear indicators he has been outside for a long time with no preventative care. His wounds smelled strongly of infection. We’re so glad we got him in to the vet so that he could immediately begin treatment for the wounds and for his two diagnoses.

Bagel on the other hand has us stumped. She appeared to be lame and disoriented. We worried she had physical trauma from an injury, but multiple radiographs showed that there was zero signs of trauma throughout her body and head. The only thing it did show was that she had been shot by buckshot - probably multiple times. We did bloodwork next to rule out other potential causes of her symptoms. The only abnormality we found were high white blood cells, meaning she likely has an infection somewhere. Infections can sometimes cause the symptoms she’s showing, so we got her on a strong antibiotic as well as an anti inflammatory. Because we still don’t have an exact diagnosis, she is on a 10 day quarantine.

Thanks to our bridge building, we were able to provide a safe haven for these two souls. The goal is for them to finish their 10 day quarantine before heading to foster homes. They’re both incredibly sweet and it’s obvious that they are feeling SO much better since starting their medications. They have made it clear that they are thankful for consistent food, shelter, and lots of love.

We have dropped a hefty amount on medical care for these two, but we’d do it all over again. You can help us continue to provide for them by making a donation in their honor:

Transparency post…

With the holidays around the corner, we totally understand the stress of visitors in the home, travel plans, busy schedules, etc. but please remember that there are humans and animals both counting on you when you make a verbal commitment to them. We have sadly had a handful of adopters and fosters ghost us or change their minds about some of our animals right before the holidays (some truly can’t help after making other commitments and we understand that completely). However, our team is scrambling and doing the best we can, but still falling short.

5 of our Green Litter puppies still need fosters. A couple of our adult dogs still need temporary fosters for the holidays (roughly 7 days). There are thousands and thousands of families in Charleston who don’t travel for the holidays, but we’re having such a hard time finding a handful of families to help us.

My family isn’t in Charleston, and I’m already packing my car full of as many dogs as I can to help out my team - but I simply don’t have enough room to take them all. For the first time in four years of running Bridge Between, I’m feeling like I shouldn’t leave to go be with my family, and spending time with them when I can is one of the few things I try not to let myself lose while operating this mission.

If you’re home for the holidays in Charleston and can help us, please direct message or email us - and please - if you sign up, we just ask that you don’t bail. We provide all supplies and match a dog suited to your home. 🙏

TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR ONLINE RAFFLE AND AUCTION! We really hope you will support our cause and check out these amazing prize items that are helping animals in our care!

Pictured here is Luna - a dog we saved months ago and have been saving for her leg surgery. It’s a $4000 surgery and we’ve put down the $1000 deposit. We have waited patiently to launch this online fundraiser and have graciously had so many business, patrons, and volunteers help make it happen! So far we are just over $1000 in money raised, but Luna is just one of our pups we were hoping would benefit from this raffle and she still needs $3000 for her surgery.

So instead of asking you to just donate directly to us, we’re asking you to participate in this fundraiser. 100% of the proceeds goes to our organization, but you get the chance to win some INCREDIBLE local prizes, gifts, and experiences! Please consider checking out the 30+ items listed! The link is in our bio or can be copied here:

We apologize for the jump scare 😆 but are here to remind you that miss Tina is still on the hunt for a forever home to spend her golden years!

Tina spent her first 10 years with her adoptive family only to then be abandoned by them 💔. But her sad story didn’t stop there… this girl was covered in a terrible skin infection and heartworm positive. Thankfully Tina has been thriving in her foster home, and has finally been able to heal. She is as adorable as ever and a very healthy girl!

Tina gets along great with the other dogs and cat in the home! She loves spending her days basking in the sun or snoozing on the couch. She a great medium size at just about 35 pounds.

Tina would love a home to call her own for the holidays. If you’re interested in adopting this adorable senior gal with the best personality, you can apply on our website:

Fosters needed for our Green family!

Our green litter came to us one week ago and are officially ready for foster homes. They need to be placed into fosters by December 20th.

The puppies are approximately 8 weeks old. They have had their first vaccines and dewormer. They are very healthy and doing wonderful. They have gained a lot of confidence and are very sweet! They must be fostered in pairs.

Jade (female)
Sage (male)
Emerald (female)
Hunter (male)
Pewter (male)
Forest (male)
Kelly (female) FOSTER FOUND

Olive (mom) has a foster but needs a temp foster December 17- 28! She is dog friendly and already potty trained. On the shy side but loves to be close to her people and her doggy friends.

We know Christmas can be a crazy busy time, but it’s also a great time to open your home up to an animal in need. All supplies are provided and all medical costs are covered by our rescue - you just open your home!

If you’re interested in fostering a pair of these adorable pups, or helping us by temp fostering mom over the holiday, please email us to get a link to our foster application:
